Product Strategy

When it comes to building software, it must be a very deliberate thought process to determine the market, the segmentation, and the specific offering you are going to provide. Terrance can quickly see the whole picture, understand competitors, and see where the product beach heads lay. He utilizes a three pronged approach of comparative, differentiation, and segmentation.

Product Market Fit

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of any business is ensuring that you have product market fit. Once you have the right strategy, getting fit requires hustle, persistence, and a high emotional IQ to ensure that you are building a solution to a problem that exists. Terrance advises many companies about where their products may be missing the mark. A key tool used for this is getting Voice Of The Customer (VOC) early and often.

By following design thinking principles, teams can deliver value fast and build tools that people want.
